Publisher's Synopsis
'Mum! Stop looking at dead people!' is a book that covers the family trees of Paterson, Green, Gardner, Knibbs & Brain. It is factual but written in a style different to the traditional ahnentafels and descendant listings. Whose Ancestor....? ...was born in Australia? ...became an MP and had an island named after him? ...was a coachman for Buckingham Palace? ...died in the workhouse? ...assaulted their superior officers? ...owned a boat in a dramatic rescue? The stories of our ancestors inside this book reveal the answers. Leaving you asking more questions some of which are answered in 'Ramblings...' The evidence for the stories mainly comes from census documents and full source citations are quoted. (A 'Mum...light' is available without the blurb. Think of the paper saving.)
